Default Need help with a Regency Converted Yukon XL

Hello, I am new to the site, but not GM trucks. Currently we own a 1994 Z71 ext cab, that we put a GMPP 383HT crate motor in, also a 2003 GMC Sierra HD with the Dmax and Allison, then there's the 1999 Cadillac Escalade.
But the reason I'm here is the newest addition to the list, it is a 2003 GMC Yukon XL with a Regency conversion. We bought the truck at auction, with the plans of fixing it up, to replace my wife's Escalade. One issue I'm having trouble with is the left rear fender flare. At some point the truck was in an accident, and the left rear was repaired, at that time, the flare was replaced with an oem style one. It does not match the other three.

Plans for the truck include a new hood, (ram air or cowl induction) and painted ventshades. At that time it would be great to have to correct flare, and paint it also. I just need to find out who made these flares, so I can source a replacement. I have spoken with Regency auto parts, they do have them, but I need to buy the set (rears) and they are almost $400.00 (unpainted) for the pair. This seems alittle high to me, and was hoping to find another option.

SOOo, having said all that, does anyone know, who was the manufacturer of the fender flares, that Regency used, in thier conversions??? Or did they really produce thier own, and Regency Auto Parts is the only vendor?

Thanks in advance for looking.

I would just replace all of the flares with ones from another company for cheaper and just have them painted. I really doubt anyone would be able to tell....

+1 to this. Find some you like either similar to the ones Regency had, or completely different. But, in the long run you'll prolly end up way ahead.

I saw a similar if not identical flare in the LMC truck catalog for 99-07 trucks
